Another case could be that the library depends on another library not yet scheduled.
That's actually no reason to hold up the review. Any dependencies can be recoded as implementation details for final submission until they're ready to be reviewed on their own.
You are right if the dependency is an implementation detail, not if the dependency appears on the interface.
Meh. You can always alias the dependency into the library under review for the purposes of the interface. In other words, instead of using boost::bar::x in the interface of boost::foo::f, use boost::foo::bar::x. -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
